Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2021 Audi A6 Allroad, q7, RS6 and rs7 vehicles. The electrical connector can detach from the door crash sensor in either of the front doors.

Why it matters: A detached connector can delay the activation of the restraint systems, including the side air bag, curtain air bag and/or seat-belt pretensioners during a side impact crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Audi will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and as necessary, replace the crash sensors in both front doors, free of charge. The recall began December 23, 2020.
